THE COLLISION AT GREER's.
The Inquest Attaches the Blame to Conduc
tor and Engineer Of the Freight Train.

COLUMBIA, S. c., October 2l.-[Special +
An inquest was held today at GTeers station over
the dead body or Robert T. WALL the engineer Of the
passenger train who was killed in the coils on yes
terday morning. G. +. Marshall, conductor ofthe
passenger train was and sal that he was run
ming from Atlanta to Charlotte by orders with the
right Of track. When the collision occurred he was
taking up tickets in the sixth car back from the
engine but went forward Immediately ana found
Engineer Wall dead. TIE evidence ororner wit
nesses went TO show that the freight train passed
Greers contrary 10 orders and that IL was going
wild and reckless. The verdict Of
tie jury was that the deceased
r. Y. Wa1, was killed by the collision and tie
collision was caused by the reckless running Of Con-
ductor Revlle and Engineer j. f. HAIRS, on the
81 eeial train, which cOllided with the passenger
train. It's now clearly established that Conductor
Keyille and Engineer Harris jumped from the
freight train before the collision and with the
knowledge Of their recklessness became frightened
at the horrible disaster AMI fed. Il IS reported to-
night that they went to Charlotte, drew their pay
and went to Salisbury where they have been ar

MARRIAGE SUPERSTITIONS.
From the 81. Lonis Glone nemocrnt

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
Any one who gives attention to the matter
must have noticed that there is quite differ
ence in the number of marriage licenses issued
each day from the recorders office, and little
more careful observation would show that the
difference is constant to use tho language of
the mathematicians that is, there are
certain days of the week on which
the number is exceptionally large, and others
on which it is decidedly small. AS would II at
urally be supposed, this difference also extends
to the days on which the marriage ceremony is
performed. Recorder William A. Hobbs, who
Is interested in the matter both from the stand
point of fees and that of student, says that
most licenses are issued on Wednesday. Since
the office was established, in June, 1881, this
feature has been most remarkable. On Wednes-
day, the 9th, forty-siX licenses were issued--the
greatest number known, except, on the
Wednesday Immediately preceding fair week.
SUPERSTITION AND PHILoLoGY.
Philologists assert that Wednesday was so
named i'll honor of the old Scandinavian con-
queror and god Odin, whom the SaXons con-
verified into Wuotan or Wotan. But the pop
ulace have philology of their own. with
which Mr.. Hobbs has been acquainted since
boyhood and he says that the reason Wednes-
day is considered good day to marry upon
is because the first syllable of its name plainly
declares "Wed." And when new laws went
into force it was naturally considered a good
day on which to secure authorization to marry.
But the recorder adds that it is rarity to
issue licenses opaFriday. That day is practic-
ally tabooed. Since the present recorder has
held the office licenses have been issued only
on three Fridays, and then only two or three
on each occasion.

THE MATTER INVESTIGATED.

THE MATTER INVESTIGATED.
Inquiries among the clergy as to the favorite
day for marriage elected quite a variety Of
answers and reasons Among Catholics it
would seem that Wednesday is tho choice for
matrimonial ventures, but nobody, not even
Rev. ID. S. Phelan, could assign any special
reason Tor this preference.
Rev. DIR. A. N. Holifed, of tho Grand Ave-
nue. Presbyterian church, was led by his expe-
rience to believe that Wednesday and Thurs
day were most favored, and he gave q unique
reason for this. "People," he said, edo not
wish to enter upon such an undertaking late
in the week, close on Sunday, and Monday and
Tuesday are wash days in most families, oven
i'll those where the ladies themselves do not
have to put their hands in tho soapsuds: so you
see it resolves itself into question of practical
convenience"
Another Presbyterian divine found that re-
ligious people preferred Thursday, and the
reason seemed to be this: Protestant we'd
dings take place mostly in tho evening, and,
as in the majority of evangelical churches
prayer-meeting is held on Wednesday even
ing, both the service might be detracted from
and an additional burden imposed on the
minister, SO the considerate Christians defer
the ceremony until tho following day.
On the contrary, Rev. George O. Adams,
Congregationalist, although he had kept no
record Of such matters, inclined to the belief
that Wednesday night at eight o'clock, just
when he was getting ready to go to prayer
meeting, was decidedly tho period that most
of his people saw fit to enter upon the matri-
monial state.

ousToM--sEcuLAR MARRIAGES.

Rev. DIR. j. -. Godbey southern Methodist,
had known people to be married on almost
every day of the week, but he, too, found that
Wednesday was the favorite,
treason for it?' said he, az know OF none
other than custom. The four-fftks of people
tho nine-tenths, you may say-dO things be-
cause others did them before them, and so
comes custom, and custom makes that fash
ionable for which the original reason is lost. {"
German Lutherans and Evangelcais are
also faYorers of both Wednesday and Thus
day.
Justice Patrick Kane, who has quito fame
rs marrying magistrate, had most of the calls
for his services in this line on Thursday. A
noteworthy fact in his experience was that he
had three weddings on Friday in fair week,
and he had never known of Friday wedding
before. just here it may be remarked that tho
ministers of all denominations, and others who
pay attention to the subject, agree that there
is prejudice against Friday as n day Of mar
riage, while the records show that the prejudice
extends to the. taking out of license
on that day. A few, when asked why
this should be, readily replied, II don'tknow,"
but most of them said, "There is n feeling
against Friday because it is known as hangs
mans day." Other authorities say that the ILL
repute in which the sixth day Of the week is
held comes from the ancient celebrations of
the cruciiXion of Christ. As matter Of fact,
Friday would seem to be propitious day, de-
riving its very name from Breya Or Freyga, tho
goddess Of love, to whom it was anciently ded-
icdted' hebrews 90 not, hs general thlhg,
celebrate marriages on Friday, but their mo-
tive is religious not superstitious one. The
Sabbath really begins on Friday evening, aud
they hold that it is not proper to commingle
the Joys Of the holy day and of marriage.
Rev. j. B. Brandt was one who held that
there was opposition TO Friday because it was
"nigger day" A young lady promptly cor
rected him, stating that Saturday is known by
the democratic name. Rev Irl r.. Hicks
thought that both Thursday and Saturday
came under the ban, because" said he,
"these days were recognized under the old re-
gime as the ones on which Sambo was allowed
TO go and see his Dinah, and SO they became

HEBREW PREFERENCES.

Mention has already been made OF the rea-
son why consistent Israelites will not marry
on Friday. The same applies to Sabbath holt
days, and when leading rabbi of this city
united a Hebrew and Christian in the bonds
on Erev Pasach, the eve Of the Passover. a
few years ago, pulpit and press rang with de-
nunciations of the deed, the like Of which had
never been known in the previous history OF
Judaism. But there are other times when
custom, founded on historical events, makes
marriage unlawful amongst Israelites. One is
from the month liar Except the 18th day.,
because during that time a plague swept off
2l,000 disciples Of Rabbi Akbah. The three
weeks following the 18th day Of Tamuz (July
or August are also unpropitious, because of
the destruction OF Jerusalem in those days.
Hebrews have their fayorite day, Tuesday.
In the first chapter Of Genesis, in the descrip-
tion Of the work Of each day Except Monday
it is noted that God said the work was good,
but he is recorded az making that statement
twice on Tuesday, SO that day is considered
doubly blessed.
While Friday is held in adherence and bids
fair TO continue so for ages to come, in oden
times many another day. and even whole
months, were avoided BY the superstitous as
unluclSy TO marry upon. In Ovid's "Fastf IL
will DO seen that May was the month OF i'll
omen, and it continued SO down to Christian
times. Sir John Sncair's Statistical Account
Of Scotland, published In 1893, quotes the min
istor OF Logierait, in Perthsbire, as saying OF
his parishiOners, "None chuse to marry in
January or In May" The Same worthy gen-
tlenan also stated that none Of them would
dare marry on the day Of the week on which
the 1lth Of May fell.
Chldermas or Holy Innocents' Day-De-
ce1nber 23--was long considered, and perhaps
still is, in England as most dangerous for those
contemplating WedlOck. "No, child" says o
mother in the Spectator, "if it please God, you
shall not 90 into join-hand on Childermas
Day"

When the Noon Changes.

During long storm persons who are
well versed in weather lore are often
heard to console themselves with the
prediction that there Will be change of
weather when the moon changes. Mas.
myth and Carpenter characterize as a
popular error in its most absurd form
this belief that the gradual turning OF
the moons face toward and away from
the sun could, at certain points, upset
the existing condition Of our atmos-
phere, generate clouds and pour down
rain. In England(and the same may be
said OF Americs) the weather changes
about every three months. and there is
a change OF the moon ever, seven days,
so that many condolences must occur.
Those who believe that 1.-THE moon rules
the weather" always credit such coin
cidences tC lunar influence. But the
theory is unteEable unless II applies to
every case, and unless the same effect Is
always produced by the same cause. To
suppose that a change CT the moon will
turn dry weather TO wet, or wet TO dry,
Unfortunately, is the merest childish
ness, and contrary to sll meteorological
records.
